Zika Virus: Free Articles and Resources

Dangerous viruses can move fast through a population, and science needs to respond just as quickly. In 2016 global health bodies, including academic journals, NGOs, research funders and institutes, called for open data sharing to speed the response to the Zika crisis and future public-health emergencies. Springer Nature made a large collection of Zika-related content free, including articles, commentaries, blog posts and news items, to improve understanding of the Zika virus and help identify measures to best address the epidemic. The content was drawn from Nature, Springer, BioMed Central, Palgrave Macmillan journals, the Adis Insight database, as well as Scientific American.

Note: This Zika page was put on hold in Nov. 2016 after the World Health Organisation (WHO) called an end to the global health emergency over Zika. Content assembled before then remains free. Despite that declaration, “Zika is not going away and countries need to be prepared," the WHO has stated.

Nature Sustainability – launched in January 2018 – publishes significant original research from a broad range of natural, social and engineering fields coming together to shed light on the connections across natural, socioeconomic and technological systems, and to identify ways to ensure human life will thrive within the biophysical limits of the planet.

The world is facing complex and interconnected issues like sustainability, resource scarcity, global health, and inequality. These “grand challenges” affect society at both the global and the local level. In order to solve these, researchers must collaborate across disciplinary boundaries, and connect with policymakers and practitioners.
As a global publisher with content across all subject disciplines, Springer Nature can help. We understand how crucial these challenges are, and have created this space to bring together our content and resources to address these issues. We want to help to connect the best research evidence with those at the cutting edge of implementation, with the ultimate aim of advancing the discovery and development of solutions to grand challenges.
